yeah but also fuck brave
I flip back and forth between Brave and Tor Browser, depending on which one appears less fingerprintable; and I've disabled all of the analytics.
it's still owned by a homophobe that loves crypto, and is likely an antivaxxer.
He was run out of Mozilla after only eleven days as CEO, and he helped found it!
the guy is an asshole, and he's very likely using brave money for evil shit.
He's also one of the inventors of Javascript as a browser feature. I feel like that would matter to OP.
holy shit he's more evil than i thought
Yes, I'm aware of the irony.
As it happens, Brave started crashing for no apparent reason shortly after I posted this, so I'm back on Tor Browser. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The more things you block, the more unique and fingerprintable you become. Blocking JavaScript altogether may mitigate some of that, but you can be fingerprinted even without JS.
Tor is a little better because they make your browser blend pretty well with other Tor browsers, so instead of being unique 1 of 1 you’re more like 1 out of all Tor users.
I haven’t looked into this in a couple years, but that is my takeaway last time I went down the privacy/fingerprint rabbit hole.
I know, and I'm still researching the best way to mitigate this. So far, I've come away with the impression that Tor Browser and Brave do the best jobs of minimising fingerprinting, otherwise I would have just disabled JS in Vanadium and called it a day.
(Not talking about a specific browser, just in general) Maybe I'm misunderstanding but when the VPN makes a request for the page information the request isn't forwarding the browser information is it? So wouldn't most of that be mitigated there?
As in the VPNs sever making the request should show when they scrape that information, not the end user. Maybe I'm not understanding that though.
A VPN doesn’t alter the requests your browser is making. It just masks your IP address. So any information about your browser is still sent. The exception would be if your VPN provides some sort of tracker/ad blocking feature where it can block certain requests. But it’s not really a magic switch that prevents websites from tracking you.
Yeah if it's sending the data and not searching from the server itself it would make it easier to track you having higher security almost. Because it would make your identifiers more unique if everyone else wasn't... That's food for thought
